Infestation: The New Beginning
Infestation: Survivor Stories is a zombie survival horror MMO. Based five years in the future following a horrendous viral outbreak of apocalyptic proportions that destroyed 95% of the world’s population, you must survive against all odds. Scavenge, defend yourself, band with others, or die in the process – your life is in your own hands.
What it feels like
The constant threat of zombies and hostile players creates an active, present danger throughout. The apocalyptic zombie setting and vulnerability of survival foster anticipatory fear of imminent threats.
What it's about
A viral zombie outbreak decimating 95% of the population is the foundational premise of the entire world and survival scenario. Set five years after an apocalyptic viral collapse, players navigate the ruins and lawless remnants of civilization. The central hook is survival against undead hordes and the harsh post-apocalyptic environment.
How it plays
Shooter mechanics are central to combat and survival against zombies and other players in the post-apocalyptic environment. Scavenging for resources and managing survival against undead and environmental threats is a core loop. Scavenging and managing gathered resources for survival is a significant pressure point in gameplay.
How it looks and sounds
Steam user tags reference 'Third-Person Shooter,' indicating a third-person camera perspective for the MMO gameplay.
How it's structured
Explicitly an MMO where players inhabit a shared persistent world, interact with other survivors, and compete or cooperate in PvP/PvE. An open-world environment where players scavenge, explore, and navigate freely across a zombie-infested landscape. A shared online world that persists and evolves independent of individual player sessions.
